The speaker for the next Alternative Energy Association meeting is Nevin Sweeney on the topic of "Cooking with the Sun – A Homebrew Experience".

Fifteen years ago, Nevin Sweeney became interested in cooking food with the power of the sun alone and soon built a working solar oven. From there he developed others, including a complex parabolic reflecting cooker and a homebrew cooker called the Nelpa. Nevin will share what he has learned from his experiences and also his "Plan B", a rocket stove which is useful and efficient when the sun isn’t shining.

Nevin works in a management position with an environmental focus. As well as his personal research and formal studies into sustainability, he is pushing the boundaries on what can be achieved on a standard suburban block.
